Effects of solriamfetol in a long-term trial of participants with obstructive sleep apnea who are adherent or nonadherent to airway therapy
Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine Nov 15, 2020
Schweitzer PK, Strohl KP, Mayer G, et al. - In subgroups of participants with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who were adherent or nonadherent to primary OSA therapy at baseline, researchers aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of solriamfetol, a dopamine/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, as well as the effect of solriamfetol on the use of primary therapy in an open-label extension trial. Solriamfetol 75, 150, or 300 mg/d was provided for ≤ 52 weeks to participants with OSA who completed prior solriamfetol studies. Adherent (n = 255) and nonadherent (n = 78) subgroups had mean Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores of 15.0 and 15.8 at baseline (of 12-week study) and 6.5 and 6.8 at week 40, respectively. Outcomes revealed similar long-term effectiveness and safety of solriamfetol regardless of adherence to primary OSA therapy. No effect of solriamfetol on primary therapy use was noted.
